Gold by Chris Cleave
2.0

This book was disappointing compared to his previous one, Little Bee. I could not really care whether Zoe won another gold medal. Nor could I care whether Kate did. The choices she had to make seemed to be inserted into the story to make us care about her and her problems. These people didn't engage me. The writing was also so so. The book reminded me of a soap opera. Not up to Cleave's usual. Unless you're a bicycle racing enthusiast I would give this one a pass.
